The Mad Young Master Falls Asleep Every Night to My Fragrance - Chapter 66

When Jiang Youxi arrived at Yue Lan Ting, Aunt Zhang was already waiting at the door.

Seeing her come over, he immediately led her to the bedroom on the second floor: “I have tried many methods, but for some reason, the second young master’s condition is like when he first returned to the He family. It is so serious that nothing I use has any effect. Even the coat you left behind cannot soothe the second young master’s symptoms.”

“My coat?”

Before Aunt Zhang could reply, the two were startled to see that He Zhuo was not in bed and quickly ran over to look for him.

After searching for a while, the two finally found He Zhu lying in the gap between the bed and the wall.

He was wearing a thin silk nightgown, with only two buttons fastened, and they weren’t even fastened properly. He was covered in a thick layer of cold sweat.

He was curled up, pale-faced and in pain, as if he were enduring a nightmare that was causing him great suffering.

He’s having another nightmare.

Jiang Youxi immediately worked with Aunt Zhang to help him to bed.

It was springtime, and it was raining. The temperature was low at night, and Jiang Youxi was worried that he would catch a cold, so she asked Aunt Zhang to help her and He Zhuo lie down on the bed.

As soon as Jiang Youxi turned around, her wrist was grabbed.

She was taken aback before realizing that it was He Zhuo who had pulled her.

Jiang Youxi thought he had woken up, so she tried to call him, but he remained asleep and did not respond.

Just as Jiang Youxi was about to withdraw her hand, Aunt Zhang stopped her, saying, “Miss Jiang, is it alright for you to let the second young master hold your hand like this?”

“Why?”

“Because the second young master can only sleep soundly when he smells your scent.”

Jiang Youxi was puzzled, but then she caught a glimpse of the coat under the pillow and remembered all the previous signs. She instantly understood: “So the time he asked for that coat of mine, it wasn’t actually for Xiaodu, but for him?”

He needed to lean against that coat to fall asleep because it smelled like her.

“Yes.” Aunt Zhang said apologetically, “Miss Jiang, I’m sorry, we had no choice but to do this. The second young master really needs a good night’s sleep. He’s not a pervert. I hope you can understand him.”

No wonder that the last few times he had nightmares and looked pained, his pain would disappear and he would slowly fall asleep whenever she was by his side.

“It’s okay, I don’t blame him. On the contrary, I’m glad that I was able to help him.”

Aunt Zhang was both surprised and delighted: “Miss Jiang, you really are the second young master’s savior, thank you.”

“No need to thank me. He helped me a lot before. It’s what I should do.” Seeing that He Zhuo’s condition was gradually stabilizing, Jiang Youxi said, “Aunt Zhang, the calming incense is gone. Please go and light another one.”

“good.”

Aunt Zhang immediately refilled the calming incense.

The room was soon filled with the scent of calming incense.

Jiang Youxi sat on the edge of the bed and tucked him in.

Jiang Youxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his expression was no longer in pain.

She dared not leave the bed even a meter away, and sat by the bedside the whole time.

Aunt Zhang was worried that she was thirsty, so she poured her a glass of warm water.

“Thank you.” Jiang Youxi took a sip of her drink, then had a chance to find out what was going on. “Aunt Zhang, wasn’t his sleep much better recently? Why did it suddenly become like this?”

Aunt Zhang was also puzzled: “I don’t know either. After the second young master came back, he made a phone call and this happened.”

“Telephone?”

“Yes, he went to take a shower after making the call. I noticed he hadn’t eaten dinner, so I brought him some. When I entered the room, I saw him lying in bed, looking like he was in pain.”

Just as Jiang Youxi was about to say something, her phone, which was on the bedside table, vibrated again.

Jiang Youxi got up, walked over, picked it up, and saw that it was a text message.

The number was not noted.

Jiang Youxi opened the message and saw a series of text messages. Her eyebrows furrowed.

[Chi Kuo, how are you doing now? You must be very happy, right? I really envy you. Back then, I thought you wouldn’t make it and would die. I never imagined you’d be so lucky to survive, even after being tortured like that!]

[Not only were you alive, but you were also taken away by a rich man, do you know that? When I saw that man in the suit say he was your father and wanted to take you away, I was so envious! So envious that I wanted to kill you!]

Why is it that you can leave Fish Village and live a life of luxury, while I’m stuck in that wretched place with nothing, unable even to survive on basic necessities?

From the first moment I saw you, I knew you weren’t an ordinary person, because you have a unique aura, unlike us kids who live off the sea.

[Back then, I vaguely guessed that you must be from a wealthy family, just someone who had ended up here. I also knew that you would eventually leave Fish Village and return to your original home!]

So I tried to please you every time, to build a good relationship with you, hoping to live a better life. But instead of a better life, I was met with a nightmare!

[Chi Kuo, you’re a murderer! If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be like this! Why am I living a miserable life while you’re living a carefree life?!]

【Chi Kuo, the sins you’ve committed are beyond redemption, no matter what you do to atone for them! You are a murderer! A killer! You will suffer a terrible death!!】

One message after another came in, all of them offensive and unbearable to read, each one a vicious curse against He Zhuo.

Jiang Youxi glanced at the message timestamps and discovered that not only were they sent just now, but some were even from a week ago, with the earliest one dating back half a year.

Despite receiving numerous messages, He Zhuo never responded. He also didn’t block the number to stop the harassment.

Why didn’t He Zhuo block him?

Knowing full well how malicious these messages were and how they would affect his mood, He Zhuo remained completely still, letting the other party keep sending them.

It was as if he was punishing himself in a painful and cruel way.

Who exactly is the other party?

Jiang Youxi was filled with doubts and dialed the number directly, but the other party had obviously discovered something and hung up immediately.

Jiang Youxi dialed several more times, but the phone was eventually switched off.

He Zhuo must have seen these text messages to have nightmares and have been unable to sleep soundly.

Could He Zhuo’s sleep disorder be related to this person?

Jiang Youxi put her phone on silent and put it back in its original place.

Aunt Zhang was worried that He Zhuo would have nightmares again in the middle of the night, so she asked Jiang Youxi to stay overnight at Yue Lan Ting.

“Okay, I’ll sleep with him tonight.”

Aunt Zhang was surprised and touched: “Okay, it’s late, you should go to sleep early too. Call me if you need anything.”

After Aunt Zhang left, Jiang Youxi took off her coat, lifted the blanket, and crawled inside.

Jiang Youxi gently stroked the man’s cheek and whispered, “Goodnight, He Zhuo.”

I hope you have a peaceful night.

She slowly closed her eyes and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

The calming incense wafted silently throughout the bedroom, while lightning flashed and thunder roared outside the window, creating a peaceful and cozy atmosphere inside.

In the middle of the night, He Zhuo woke up as usual.

He was about to turn over when he suddenly realized something.

He turned his head and saw the little girl’s peaceful sleeping face.

He Zhuo was slightly stunned, thinking he had misread it, and subconsciously reached out to pinch her soft little face.

It feels soft and smooth to the touch.

It really is her.

The little girl was half asleep when she noticed something on her face and instinctively swatted it away, saying, “Stinky, stinky mosquito.”

Snap!

The man received a hard slap across the face.

He Zhuo: “…”

Jiang Youxi opened her eyes a crack and peeked out before slowly closing them again.

The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes and met the man’s resentful gaze.

Jiang Youxi instantly regained consciousness: “He Zhuo, you…you’re awake?”

Do you know how I woke up?

“How did he wake up?” Jiang Youxi guessed, “With his eyes wide open?”

“no.”

“How did you wake up? Were you woken up by a noise?”

She’s a terrible sleeper, but she doesn’t snore!

“You woke me up.”

“Woke up?”

He Zhuo leaned closer to her and pointed to her left cheek: “See that?”

Jiang Youxi looked closely.

There were red marks on his face, which looked like… a slap mark?!

“I…I just hit you?”

“You not only hit me, but you also touched me.”

Jiang Youxi was startled. She lifted the blanket and saw that the two of them were fully dressed before she breathed a sigh of relief.

I think you’re lying to me!

He Zhuo looked at her, his expression serious: “Did you touch me just now? You really didn’t feel anything?”

“No!”

She was sleeping like a log, what could she possibly feel?

She doesn’t have a habit of groping others while sleeping!

“You have.”

“…”

Jiang Youxi took a deep breath: “Okay, then tell me, how did I touch you just now?”

Her wrist tightened.

Before Jiang Youxi could react, the man grabbed her hand and slipped it inside his soft pajamas, moving it downwards—

“You touch it like this.”
